At the 61st Bologna Children's Book Fair held in Bologna, Italy. Cheryl and I were on Transatlantic Connections, Literature, Childhood and Diversity, a panel featuring publishers from Nigeria, Brazil and Colombia who discussed Black literature for children in their country.

Saw Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater with friends. Cool to see signature pieces w/new sets & new dance principles. The choreography & storytelling hold up! Loved seeing this with young dancer, Clarity Bates, who is learning from Debbie Allen—just as some of Ailey's dancers did!
